Certifications

• FAA - Private Pilot - Instrument Airplane

  Earned: Jan 2011

  I am a trained private pilot, and while not entirely relevant to a software background, sharing it here shows that when I dedicate myself to something, it becomes a reality. I am very proud of my wings and always enjoy talking about aviation.
